Bruce Springsteen Live – Von seinem Zuhause in dein Zuhause / Volume 28
In der 28. Ausgabe des
SIRIUS XM Radioformats “From My Home To Yours” sprach Bruce Springsteen über das liebe Geld.
Die Show stand unter dem Motto “Money Honey” und Bruce begrüsste die Zuhörer am 15. September 2021 mit “Hello gamblers, ramblers, friends, famly, hustlers and rustlers – welcome to Volume 28 of From My Home to Yours, titled Money Honey”.
Passenderweise eröffnete er die Sendung mit Wanda Jacksons “Money Honey” – einem Contrysong aus dem Jahre 1958. Diese Komposition stammt aus der Feder des bekannten Rhythm and Blues Musikers Jesse Stone, der unter anderem etliche Hits für die Drifters, Ray Charley und Bill Haley schrieb. Bruce Springsteen bezeichnete die mittlerweile 83jährige Künstlerin als “First Lady of Rockabilly” und gab bekannt, dass er das grosse Glück hatte, Wanda Jackson in Asbury Park persönlich zu treffen.
Bruce Springsteen über Wanda Jackson:Zitat:
“She had every bit of what she’s always had: that premier female voice of rockabilly. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009; she is a native Oklahoman; she retired from performance in 2019, and she will be missed. She was as wonderfully down-home and sassy as that voice always made her sound. Wanda, wherever you are tonight, we love you”.
Wanda Jackson veröffentlichte im vergangenen Monat ihr 36. Studioalbum “Encore”. Das Werk wurde von Joan Jett produziert und enthält Duette mit Joan Jett, Elle King, Angaleena Presley (Pistol Annies) und Candi Carpenter.
Nach Wanda Jackson folgt mit “Money on Straight” (Album: Wonderful Wonderful) ein Song der Killers und “Mr. Dollar” von Wynonie Harris. Harris erblickte anno 1915 im ländlichen Omaha das Licht der Welt und schrieb es sich bereits in jungen Jahren auf die Fahnen, in den Clubs von Chicago als Sänger aufzutreten. Mit 32 Jahren kam er bei “King Records” unter Vertrag und schaffte es, den R&B Gassenhauer “Good Rockin’ Tonight” auf Platz 1 der Billboard Charts zu platzieren.
Bruce Springsteen über Wynonie Harris:Zitat:
“Wynonie Harris was known for his blues-shoutin’ voice, ribald lyrics, and his rhythm-and-blues songs with titles such as, “Lollipop Mama”, “I Like My Baby’s Pudding”, “Sittin’ on It All the Time”, “Keep on Churnin’ (Till the Butter Comes)” and “Wasn’t That Good”.
Im weiteren Verlauf der knapp 70minütigen Sendung spielte Bruce Springsteen nicht nur ältere, sondern auch neuere Songs. Unter anderem “Rich Man” der New Yorker Indie Band “Vampire Weekend” oder “Money” von Cardi B. Nebenher erzählte der “Boss” immer wieder Geschichten und lies es sich nicht nehmen, Donald Trump scharf zu kritisieren.
Zitat:
“As a child, I took lessons at Mike Diehl’s music school on South Street. Mr. Diehl had a lovely little school — nothing too big, came out of a small, ’50s-style ranch house — and made a nice living there.
Some years later… Donald Trump is building one of his damn casinos down in Atlantic City. Orders a bunch of pianos from my friend Mr. Diehl and then, of course, refuses to pay for them.
Now, for Mr. Diehl, hundreds of thousands of dollars in pianos is a lot of fucking pianos, and a lot of fucking money. And that this bastard held out on this small-town music-school owner, and finally agreed to pay him something like six on the dollar, was disgusting. And it really hurt Mr. Diehl at the time. That was basically his… that was the money that he made for the entire year.
So. I’m gonna dedicate this one to that fucker that’s sittin’ down in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, right now, sucking on his shrimp scampi and lyin’ to the rest of the nation.
He’s just a goddamn money grabber”.
Natürlich legte der “Boss” mit “Easy Money” auch eine Eigenkomposition auf. Das Lied findet man auf auf seinem 17. Studioalbum “Wrecking Ball” und Bruce erinnerte sich, dass es das erste Lied war, welches er für “Wrecking Ball” schrieb.
Bruce Springsteen über “Easy Money”:Zitat:
“Behind the wheel, just started hummin’ that along. Suddenly I said, “I got it!” I dashed in my wheels to the studio! Called my crew! And threw down a rough version of that tune. And I wrote the rest of it that night on the edge of my bed, and I recorded it the next day. I like it when they happen like that. It was my diatribe against all them Wall Street suckers, grabbin’ all that easy money after that 2008 crash, without givin’ a xxxx about what happened to everybody else”.
Nach etlichen “neueren” Songs kehrte Springsteen in die 1960er Jahre zurück und präsentierte die Blues Klassiker “Dead Presidents” von Little Walter und “I’m Your Bread Maker Baby” von Slim Harpo. Ferner erzählte er eine Geschichte über das “Pleite Sein” und berichtete, dass er in den frühen 1970er Jahre nach New York City fahren und sich 30 Dollar von seinem damaligen Manager Mike Appel leihen wollte:
Zitat:
“I once drove to New York City in the early ’70s in hopes of getting 30 dollars — to keep me from getting thrown out of my apartment in Asbury Park. It was too late, but I was going to get this 30 dollars from Mike Appel, my then-manager; when I got to the Lincoln Tunnel, the kind lady wouldn’t let me through, because after she busted open my last roll of 100 pennies — the last money I had on the planet — she found one Canadian penny!
And 99 cents, my friend, will not get you into New York City! In the day, you needed a full dollar or you’re turnin’ around! And that’s exactly what she told me to do! “Turn this car around, sir, you don’t have a dollar.”
So I got out of that car, with a cacophony of horns blarin’ behind me for the bullshit that was going on where I was, and I searched that car inside and out. I took my time until I found, somewhere ‘neath the back seat, one American cent. And I took it between my thumb and my finger, and I dropped it into her hand, and she slapped it down on that metal desk. New York was mine! I had the dollar.
But damn, that was broke”.
Bruce Springsteen beendete die Show mit folgenden Worten: “That’s our show for today, folks. Til we meet again, I wish you health, wealth, good fortune, and good times. Go in peace” und spielte als krönenden Abschluss die Clarence Clemons Single “Savin’ Up” aus dem Jahre 1983.
